No need to ask how I did last year because it was a wasted year and I had to quit halfway through. The record was 21-29 sometime in mid Oct.
No...I didn't drain my account making idiotic-sized bets after being 8 games under .500. I simply had to focus on buying a house instead of my gambling habit.
Now I have a mortgage and most bills are higher than planned. That takes a huge bite out of my bankroll. Until the furniture and assorted-house-filling-swag is paid off, times will be tight.
But I STILL have GAMBLING MONEY!
Only one bet so far..
Nevada
@ CALIFORNIA -11'
I like Cal because they are far better at home. Now they get to play in their new-n-improved Memorial Stadium.
Cal loses a lot on defense but they've been recruiting the front 7 the past 2 years to make sure the drop off isn't too big. (I'd say they get what they pay for...but, nawwwwwwww.)
That one Penn St LB transfer helps the depth. Cecil Whitehead also returns to the team. So if you circled him in your Phil Steele mags...I guess you have to invest in whiteout...not sure what you do. But, anyway, coach let him back on the team so "happy-vibes" all around the front 7.
Cal's D did struggle last year vs The Pistol. But they played UCLA on the road and we know how Cal is on the road. Also, they have all off-season to hear from their coaches how much they struggled last year vs this kind of offense.
Nevada has an awesome QB but who will catch the ball? A JUCO went down w/ an ACL in summer. Some young player is going to have to step up...rarely happens on the road.
Nevada has a good CB unit...but Cal has a future NFL guy at WR. Cal is best at running the ball and NEV is rebuilding on the D-line...after allowing 4.5 YPC last year.
I wish Cal had a better OL...fewer injuries...but no play is perfect, eh?

Have a bunch of leans but I'll just hang out and watch the line moves in the next couple weeks.
